2 . To complete a painting job requires four hours setup time plus one hour per 1,000 square feet. How would you express this information in a linear equation?

3 . A statistics instructor is paid a per-class fee of $2,000 plus$100 for each student in the class. How would you express this information in a linear equation?

4 . A tutoring school requires students to pay a one-time enrollment fee of $500 plus tuition of$3,000 per year. Express this information in an equation.

## 12.2: slope and Y -intercept of a linear equation

Use the following information to answer the next four exercises. For the labor costs of doing repairs, an auto mechanic charges a flat fee of $75 per car, plus an hourly rate of$55.

5 . What are the independent and dependent variables for this situation?

6 . Write the equation and identify the slope and intercept.

7 . What is the labor charge for a job that takes 3.5 hours to complete?

8 . One job takes 2.4 hours to complete, while another takes 6.3 hours. What is the difference in labor costs for these two jobs?

## 12.3: scatter plots

9 . Describe the pattern in this scatter plot, and decide whether the X and Y variables would be good candidates for linear regression.

10 . Describe the pattern in this scatter plot, and decide whether the X and Y variables would be good candidates for linear regression.

11 . Describe the pattern in this scatter plot, and decide whether the X and Y variables would be good candidates for linear regression.

12 . Describe the pattern in this scatter plot, and decide whether the X and Y variables would be good candidates for linear regression.

## 12.4: the regression equation

Use the following information to answer the next four exercises. Height (in inches) and weight (In pounds) in a sample of college freshman men have a linear relationship with the following summary statistics:
$\overline{x}$ = 68.4
$\overline{y}$ =141.6
s x = 4.0
s y = 9.6
r = 0.73
Let Y = weight and X = height, and write the regression equation in the form:
$\stackrel{^}{y}=a+bx$

13 . What is the value of the slope?

14 . What is the value of the y intercept?

15 . Write the regression equation predicting weight from height in this data set, and calculate the predicted weight for someone 68 inches tall.

## 12.5: correlation coefficient and coefficient of determination

16 . The correlation between body weight and fuel efficiency (measured as miles per gallon) for a sample of 2,012 model cars is –0.56. Calculate the coefficient of determination for this data and explain what it means.

17 . The correlation between high school GPA and freshman college GPA for a sample of 200 university students is 0.32. How much variation in freshman college GPA is not explained by high school GPA?

18 . Rounded to two decimal places what correlation between two variables is necessary to have a coefficient of determination of at least 0.50?

## 12.6: testing the significance of the correlation coefficient

19 . Write the null and alternative hypotheses for a study to determine if two variables are significantly correlated.

20 . In a sample of 30 cases, two variables have a correlation of 0.33. Do a t -test to see if this result is significant at the α = 0.05 level. Use the formula:
$t=\frac{r\sqrt{n-2}}{\sqrt{1-{r}^{2}}}$

for poisson distribution mean............variance.
both are equal to mu
Faizan
mean=variance
Faizan
what is a variable
something that changes
Festus
why we only calculate 4 moment of mean? asked in papers.
why we only 4 moment of mean ? asked in BA exam
Faizan
Hello, can you please share the possible questions that are likely to be examined under the topic: regression and correlation analysis.
Refiloe
for normal distribution mean is 2 & variance is 4 find mu 4?
repeat quastion again
Yusuf
find mu 4. it can be wrong but want to prove how.
Faizan
for a normal distribution if mu 4 is 12 then find mu 3?
Question hi wrong ha
Tahir
ye BA mcqs me aya he teen he. 2dafa aya he
Faizan
if X is normally distributed. (n,b). then its mean deviation is?
Faizan
The answer is zero, because all odd ordered central moments of a normal distribution are Zero.
nikita
which question is zero
Faizan
sorry it is (5,16) in place of (n,b)
Faizan
I got. thanks. it is zero.
Faizan
How did we get the 24000
where do I start
in a large restaurant an average of every 7 customers ask for water with the their meal. A random sample of 12 customers is selected, find the probability that exactly 6 ask for water with their meal
any body with idea
Rufai
conditional probability
Ramesh
Rufai
iam really sorry. it's been long since I used these things. I just gave you a hint though
Ramesh
ok
Rufai
this follows binomial distribution. p(X=6)=12C6*(0.6)^6*0.4^6 use this formula n find.
syeda
can you explain the cosidered variable in the formula
Divya
x is variable wich is exactly 6 costumers
syeda
n is number of customers
syeda
ncx*p^X*q^X?
Divya
q^n-x
syeda
oh right !!! thanks yaar
Divya
I agree with Seyda too
Hoshyar
I agree with Syeda too
Hoshyar
7/12 =0.58is it?

what is descriptive statistic
Descriptive statistics are brief descriptive coefficients that summarize a given data set, which can be either a representation of the entire or a sample of a population. Descriptive statistics are broken down into measures of central tendency and measures of variability (spread).
Divya
are you getting this ?
Divya
if so let me know
Divya
yes m getting
Ramesh
fine
Divya
what's taking place can l join u
Anest
yeah !!why not? sure
Divya
okey thanks
Anest
where are statistics used
hello
Giannis
Hi
Makhosi
how u doing
Muhid
everywhere
Faizan
the upper quartile of the population 10,12,14,16,18,20,25,15,11,11,17,is................?
Gach
The probability range is 0 to 1... but why we take it 0 to 1....
because in probability 1 means success and 0 means failure and it cnnt be more or less than 1 and 0.
syeda
b/c v hv mazimum probibliy 1 and minimum which is.no.probiblity is 0.so.v hv the range from 0 to 1
khalid
the size of a set is greeter than its subset
Hoshyar
The probability of an event will not be less than 0.  This is because 0 is impossible (sure that something will not happen).The probability of an event will not be more than 1. This is because 1 is certain that something will happen
Divya
what do they mean in a question when you are asked to find P40 and P88
Mani
hi
Mehri
you're asked to find page 40 and page 88 on that particular book.
Joseph
hi
ravi
any suggestions for statistics app better than this
ravi
sorry miss wrote the question
omar
No problem) By the way. I NEED a program For statistical data analysis. Any suggestion?
Mani
Eviews will help u
Hello
Okonkwo
arey there any data analyst and working on sas statistical model building
ravi
Hi guys ,actually I have dicovered that the P40 and P88 means finding the 40th and 88th percentiles 😌..
Megrina
who can explain the euclidian distance
ravi
I am fresh student of statistics (BS) plz guide me best app or best website relative to stat topics

IMAGESNEWSVIDEOS A Dictionary of Computing. measures of location Quantities that represent the average or typical value of a random variable (compare measures of variation). They are either properties of a probability distribution or computed statistics of a sample. Three important measures are the mean, median, and mode.
